Tips from the show

• Embossing folders wipe clean, so don't worry about damaging them when brushing ink pads over them.
• Spraying with water softens the card fibres and creates a textured, bleached effect.
• You can play embossing folders up or down—use them as a full focal point or as a subtle background accent.
